Hadal Zone Master Class with Professor Alan | Deep Sea Pod Feed Drop

What happens at the deepest points of the ocean? This week on Oceanography, we’re sharing a special feed drop episode from Deep Sea Pod, hosted by Thomas Linley and Alan Jamieson — two scientists many of you may already recognize from previous Oceanography episodes like What Is the Deep Sea Even Like? and Ocean Trenches Explained.

In this episode, Professor Alan Jamieson takes listeners on a deep dive into the hadal zone: the deepest and most extreme region of the ocean, including the massive trenches that extend nearly 11 kilometers beneath the surface. The conversation explores how scientists study these remote environments, what kinds of organisms survive under immense pressure, the history of deep trench exploration, and why the hadal zone remains one of the last great frontiers in marine science.
